It looks like Arms Unlimited has only 82 of the UM2s left. Just an FYI for anyone still considering. Not affiliated with AU in any way, and thought it would be alright to provide a stock update since its the only place you can purchase this model.

I got several of these since it's likely the last selector ring light ever from Surefire judging by the lackluster demand from the buying public. I'm not surprised given how many people have dozens of 70 dollar latest LED in a tube disposable lights but balk at the idea of paying over 100 for a unique lights like this.

See post 255. Looks like Jose measured it at 15k which is about 248 meters of throw. I believe the manual says 13k which is 228 meters. Either way, I say it's a mid-level thrower...

About 81 units left. Heck, I'm thinking of getting ONE more. One for play, one for display...

I received mine last week, I think I got #97. Beam is a bit wider than I expected. 600 lumens isn't really "bright" anymore, but I'm a sucker for selector rings and Surefire forward clickies, so I love the light. Tint is a bit on the cool side though. If it was TIR 1000 lumens I would love it even more.

It wasn't the tint I needed to see it was the shape of the beamshot. Looks very nice but not very bright
White tile floor. No issues with the tint on mine
Thanks for taking the beamshot!

That's on 5 lumens.

I just tried to see if it looks any different on 600 but the camera auto adjusts

Yeah I like it quite a bit. Probably my last surefire for a long time. The selector ring is a great UI.

Have had my UM2 since Nov 8, 2017. It's my main nightstand light pre-set to 600 lumens. 2 nights ago, my wife and I heard our first loud bump in the night in this home that we've lived in for 18 months. Grabbed the UM2 and my Walther to investigate whilst using the Harries technique, and discovered our dishwasher has decided to sing new notes. Phew/Sigh!
Still thinking of getting a 2nd one, just 53 units left as of this writing...

How was it flashing 600 lumens of light with night adapted vision? Was it blinding?

No. We have a good number of night lights plugged in throughout the house. And it's not as if I flashed it against the white wall 2 feet in front of me. ;-)
PS. I'm still on the original set of primaries. I do have Orbtronic 16340s to try out once the first set dies...

Dang, I was finally ready to order my first new light since 2014, but get an AVS mismatch on all 3 of my credit cards :( I don't know if it's because their store is set up wrong for non-US credit cards but my country was listed as one of the countries they accepted orders from.
Anyone want to help me order this? A good chance if you want to test it out.
